You're confusing the price of electricity with the price of solar panels and/or installation, which is what parent comment intended.

Saw this in a PR review yesterday. Reviewer made comments about the reasonableness of a solution and alternatives to consider. Submitter posted an LLM response that gives zero additional context about the PR. As the submitter, you should be the one with the context, not the reviewer, and having an LLM answer doesn't provide that additional context.

Does the name come from the farsi word "chert"?

International men's day isn't a thing in the US either, so that's not surprising. Contrast to Mother's/Father's Day, which are.

Establishments don't record my data or even take down my name. They take a look at the birthdate and wave me forward.

At a basic levels, access layers should be aware of operations that are Read-only and operations that are Write/Delete. It should be easy to give agents access to read anything, then require permission/prompt to execute any state changing operations.

> which has been debunked

That is, unfortunately, not an argument. To apply your line of thinking to the OP, would you say that "children displaying Tourette's symptoms from watching a YouTuber is a reversal of cause and effect"? The OP does not make that conclusion, and most of this comment section accepts that as well. I, like GP, would be interested to hear how this would be reconciled.

Not all scientific discussion is pleasant to hear, but it would be worth discussing, even if flagged and down voted, rather than "We were always at war with Eurasia".

Or because it's a controversial topic and GP is worried about being taken as offensive but still would like to make their point.

Compare to an extreme example of a market selling one watermelon for 5 dollars, and 5 watermelons for 15. Sure, the latter is a better deal, but I definitely have no use for more than one melon, and the arbitrage opportunity is not worth my time. In the same sense, I and many others do not need more than 1 deodorant at a time and I would rather save my space.

I was playing with my baby's fisher-price rotary phone (the rolling one with the googly eyes) and realized that in the past they would have had much more fun playing with it, since they saw mommy and daddy doing the same thing. It's unfortunate that much of the tools we use today exist virtually, making our kids interests totally virtual as well.

I'm sure others with more experience could chime in, but when my wife gave birth there absolutely was a lactation consultant who did much the same as yours, but was affiliated with the hospital and could be asked to come to the postpartum room or NICU and provide assistance.
